Discussion on the Method

René Descartes – an outstanding mathematician, physicist, and physiologist. To this day, we use the mathematical symbolism he created, and his coordinate system reflects the intuitive understanding of a person in the Modern era about infinite space. But above all,... Descartes is a philosopher who proposed the method of radical doubt to address the question of knowledge of the world. In the book Discourse on the Method: In Rules for the Direction of the Mind, he attempts to prove that the result of any scientific endeavor is a special direction of the mind and indicates the way to achieve true knowledge. In the treatise Principles of Philosophy, Descartes seeks to understand knowledge as such by subjecting everything to doubt and formulates the laws of physics. The treatise is published with comments and explanations.
